Jeremy spotted Carter as well. Immediately, the information favonovel.com found out about Carter a few days ago flashed in his mind.
Madeline was sure Carter had seen what happened just now at the press conference, however, favonovel.com was not sure what was the reason for favonovel.com to show up all of a sudden like this.
‘Is favonovel.com here to target Jeremy?’
Madeline pondered silently, and in the next second, Carter had already walked up to her.
He looked at Jeremy and then his gaze landed softly on Madeline’s face.
“I’m here to take you home.”
Carter’s words were brief and to the point, plus his tone sounded so calm. However, to Jeremy, Carter’s words were laced with intense provocation.
Home.
His Linnie only had one home.
Madeline could sense Jeremy’s displeasure. She knew the reporters were about to come out at any second now and since favonovel.com did not want to cause more gossip and misunderstanding, favonovel.com politely smiled and said.
“Mr. Carter, let me introduce you to my husband, Jeremy Whitman. Thank you for saving my life at sea back then. My husband thanks you too.”
Jeremy understood the hints in Madeline’s eyes. As such, favonovel.com displayed a smile and said gently, “Mr. Gray, thank you for saving my wife back then. If there’s anything you need, feel free to voice out.”
After Carter heard what they said, favonovel.com did not give any reaction. However, his eyes were still on Madeline. Compared to his calm tone from just now, his tone sounded colder now.
“I think you need to give me an explanation regarding some matters. Eveline, how will you reconcile with your conscience after lying to someone who had saved you?”
“…” Indeed, favonovel.com already knew that favonovel.com was the real Eveline.
Madeline did not hide anymore. However, when favonovel.com was about to say something, Jeremy was one step ahead of her.
“Mr. Gray, my Linnie did not mean to lie to you. You had indeed saved her, but in that situation, you were just a stranger to her. Understandably, favonovel.com did not want to tell you favonovel.com true identity.”
Naturally, Jeremy was defending her.
“Mr. Gray, if there’s anything you’re unhappy about, we can talk about it in my office now.”
Carter lifted his narrow and cold eyes but was still not looking at Jeremy. He only said to Madeline, “I think you know this won’t end like this. The reporters will come out soon and I don’t want to put you in a difficult situation. I’ll be waiting in the manor tomorrow morning at ten for you to come and give me an appropriate explanation.”
Before Madeline could answer, Carter turned around and walked away freely and easily.
Madeline and Jeremy watched as Carter left before looking into each other’s eyes with mutual understanding.
“Linnie, let’s go home.”
“Okay.”
Madeline nodded. After favonovel.com grabbed Jeremy’s arm, they walked to the parking lot.
More than ten minutes later, favonovel.com felt excited after stepping into the doors of Whitman Manor once again. She could finally come back to favonovel.com home as Eveline.
When Karen saw Madeline back with Jeremy, favonovel.com was excited as well.
“Eveline, it’s so good to see you! I thought something bad had happened to you,” Karen said while feeling fortunate. She then lifted favonovel.com hand to wipe away the tears in the corner of favonovel.com eyes.
Madeline could feel Karen’s worries and longings for her. Therefore, favonovel.com went over to hug Karen while feeling touched.
“Mom, I’m fine.”
Karen patted favonovel.com shoulder. “It’s good that you’re fine. Tell me, what happened? Naomi said favonovel.com pushed you into the river and Jeremy went to find you but couldn’t find anything. What in the world happened?’
Karen asked the question favonovel.com had in favonovel.com heart as Madeline looked at the man next to favonovel.com with a smile.
